How to determine whether the bones are closed?

It is everyone's wish to grow taller to the desired height, especially for children whose bodies are still developing, who want their bodies to grow up quickly. But when we reach a certain age, everyone's bones will heal, and the body will no longer grow taller. So, how do you determine whether the bones are closed? This is a question that many people are still unclear about. Let’s take a look at the specific answers below.

The best way to determine whether the bones are closed is to go to the hospital for an X-ray to see the growth lines of the bones. Skeletal closure means that the bones are generally divided into the shaft and epiphysis. The epiphysis will continue to grow cartilage, which will calcify and become bones, and you will grow taller in this way. When you reach a certain age, the epiphysis will no longer grow cartilage, and it will also calcify and connect to the shaft. The bones are closed and your height stops growing.

If you are still not satisfied with your current height, then go to the hospital for a check-up. In fact, it is between "disease" and "non-disease", at least it will not affect your life. If you have it, don't worry. When people are in the growth and development stage, there is a "layer" of cartilage-like substance at the ends of long bones, which is a sign that people are in the growth stage. You can only see whether the epiphyseal line exists by taking an X-ray of the femur. If the epiphyseal line exists, it means that it is still growing. If it is closed, the possibility of growing taller is very small. No one can see the condition of the epiphyseal line with the naked eye. The singer judges your growth condition by feeling the condition. Don't be superstitious.

After we reach puberty and the epiphyseal lines close, we will no longer grow taller (only considering the long bones). Because the long bones no longer grow, our legs and arms will no longer get longer. The reason why there is a saying that "twenty-three, a jump" is because we can grow taller through non-long bone tissues, especially the lengthening of the spine, including bones and interosseous tissues (this is still very obvious to quite a number of people). Blurred epiphyseal lines indicate that they are about to close, but the closure of the lower limbs will be later than that of the upper limbs. Boys will develop it later than girls (this is also the effect of sexual development and hormone secretion). For most people, twenty-one and twenty-two (for boys) are the latest to be achieved.

How to determine whether the bones are closed? If you want to accurately determine whether the bones are completely closed, you need to go to the hospital for professional examination, because the time for bone closure is different for each person. If examination shows that the bones have closed, it will be impossible to grow taller. Therefore, don’t easily believe in some exaggerated advertisements that claim that you can grow taller again.
